God's day to youm God's-elect, What does this portion of the Bible say. How do you handle this verse? Also notice you will reign with Him. Is it all Christians? Searcher | ||||||

Scripture ... (vs 4) Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of (1) those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, (2) and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, (3) and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; ... and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection" (Rev 20:4-5) God's day to you God's-elect, Do you see there are qualifications to reign with Christ for a thousand years ... and it is not all Christians? I believe it is a literial thouand years and a literial reign on earth. Also, based on this passage not all Christians will be raised at the same time. Searcher |

God's-elect, I believe those passages you cited are the second resurrection, as opposed to the first of Revelation 20:5. Searcher | ||||||

God's-elect, I do understand your point since you do not believe in a literal 1000 years. I believe all of Scripture is literal, unless it says otherwise ... with words like "like" "as" ... The first resurection is when some Christians will come to life. The second one is for others (maybe only Christians). The second death (Rev 2:11, 20:6, 14, 21:8) are for the unbelivers. I don't think those of the first resurection are the exclusive group of those who will not experience the second death. One point is that there may be new belivers during the 1000 years. I commend you on being willing to learn. Always be wlling to learn and adjust what you believe. The issue of the resurection and rapture will only be known when it happens. I am not worried about the timing - I am glad I know where I am going. Searcher |

3425 | scripture on the rapture of the church | Rev 20:5 | Searcher56 | 239244 | ||
Ed O ... "keep you from" could mean "preservation from or in the midst of" In John 17:15, we read Jesus prayed, I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one." Searcher |

3426 | First resurrection happens twice | Rev 20:5 | Searcher56 | 239246 | ||
Greetings in our Lord, Beja and Ed O, I am teaching the book of Revelation in Sunday School. I am presenting all views: Tribulation: Pre Mid Post and others Millennium: Premillennial, Postmillennial, Amillennial Timing: Preterist, Historicist, Futurist and Spiritualist I usually don't give my side. On this matter is the rapture concurrent with the resurrection? If not which happens first? Jesus was resurrected first, then went to heaven. Here we have a select group of saints being resurrected ... and have not gone to heaven. Searcher |

EdB, I am using Steve Gregg's book. Before I started I looked at the choices I had and thought his was the best. He is very fair, because he just presents the views without much or any commentary. I have also secured resources for each view, to see if I can add anything. When I present views, I research secular sources to see if what is said is true. I present the views with my research ... then we discuss what the text says im an inductive method. S |

Good Lord's day to you Ed O, On your final comment ... "Now we can play around much with the meaning of words but I hardly believe that God wanted us to become Greek scholars. Sometimes it's better for us to be less intellectual and rely on common sense wouldn't you think so?" I am not a Greek (or Hebrew) scholar, but I do look up the English words in the original ... even if all the translations agree ... if I want to learn more. Both times the word in this verse, the Greek is tereo which is translated in the KJV : keep (57x), reserve (8x), observe (4x), watch (2x), preserve (2x), keeper (1x), hold fast (1x). Moreover ... just in this verse I read "you have kept the word" and "will keep you from" ... so even with that it is hard for me to think we will be taken out of the tribulation. On "rely on common sense" ... what is your basis? Even if you have studied the three views, it could be clouded by what someone else has said. My theology has changed in several areas ... sometimes when I hear something new or when I am meditating on the Word and I have a "wait a minute" prompting. Either way I investigate Scripture. When He comes relative to the tribulation is a minor point and should not divide us. The major point is that He is coming ... quickly ... in the next century or so. S |

3429 | Is this a lottery? | Rev 20:6 | Searcher56 | 130301 | ||
There is no lottery - it doesn't matter who one descends from ... all that matters is if one accepts Christ as Lord and Savior (or not). | ||||||
3430 | Is this a lottery? | Rev 20:6 | Searcher56 | 130303 | ||
Yes, two-thirds of mankind are killed ... phyiscal death. I believe that includes Christians. In Rev 20:12-15, we see the final or second "death" ... verse 15 gives the separation. | ||||||
3431 | Is this a lottery? | Rev 20:6 | Searcher56 | 130306 | ||
Scripture ... Rev 9:14ff, Rev 20:4-6, 12-15 ......... Thosee who are spared and which are destroyed (in Rev 9:14ff) is not a lottery. God doesn't give the basis of selection. You may think the church will not go thru the "Great Tribulation" ... but read who will rule with Christ (Rev 20:4-6) - also that it implies some Christians will not be risen for a thousand years. Then all unbelievers will experience the second death (Rev 20:12-15). |

Rev 20:4 says that only those who 1. beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, 2. and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, 3. and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; ... they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. There are those Christians who died before the mark was issued ... and maybe some didn't make ALL THREE qualifications. If we die before these events, we will not be part of the FIRST resurrection (vs 5). |

3435 | How many books does God have in heaven. | Rev 20:12 | Searcher56 | 17717 | ||
Nolan/ Nicodemus, I see the Book of life (Psa 69:28; Phi 4:3; Rev 3:5, 13:8, 17:8). This may be the same book, where people could be blotted out (Exo 32:32-33) and Daniel 12:1, where people will be rescued. Back to Rev 20:12; it sounds like there are more than book, besides the Book of life. I see two other books in heaven: -Rev 5:2ff - seven seals -Rev 10:2ff - little book These may be there, too -Psa 139:16 - Your Book -Isa 34:16 - book of the LORD I've been missing you, Steve |

God's day to you, Tim, my dear bother and friend, As usual, I enjoy your posts. I think it is interesting, dare I say concerning that the KJV translates Sheol (Strong's 07585) grave 31 times, hell 31 times and pit 3 times. Can you share about the root of Sheol ... Shaal (Strong's 07592) which means to ask, enquire, borrow, beg? After my independent study, I found the following which gives the number of times a version translates a word into hell http://ecclesia.org/truth/hell.html ... I shake my head of how inconsistent the translations are within and between each other. Steve |

3440 | Is there any sickness in heaven? | Rev 21:4 | Searcher56 | 115635 | ||
Revelation 21:4 also says ... God wipe away every tear from their eyes (Rev 7:17) - Jesus wept (Jhn 11:35, Heb 5:7) - Also Paul (Act 20:19, 31; 2Co 2:4: 2Ti 1:4) ... Death shall be no more - Jesus died (Mar 15:37)... and so have all who have been born, who are not living - it is appointed for men to die once (Heb 9:27) ...Neither shall there be anguish (sorrow and mourning) - James 4:9 says "Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy to gloom. Plus, in John 5, He only healed one man, while there was a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered (vs 3). James 5:14-15 also implies that being sick is part of life. So - it is NOT His will that there is no sickeness. |
